Does /etc/mtab contain something like this?
(gw:/ is root partition on gw.home.invalid; /xr is where it is mounted
on jb.home.invalid) Note that each of these must be one line starting
with gw:, the line breaks are imposed by e-mail formatting.

gw:/ /xr nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0
gw:/etc /xetc nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0
gw:/home /xhome nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0
gw:/usr /xusr nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0
gw:/var /xvar nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0
gw:/mnt/windows /xwindows nfs
ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.16 8.0.106 0 0

Try adding "defaults,_netdev," to the beginning of your options in
fstab. My fstab nfs entries look something like:

linuxserver:/home/user/Backups /mnt/Backups nfs
defaults,_netdev,users,noatime,rsize=8192,wsize=81 92,soft 0 0
