I'm guessing when you moved your init script from S45 to S70, the error
message was the same. If there was no reason that you chose 70, you could
always move mountnfs.sh back further and see if that works. If it still
doesn't work at S99, then you could always add a call to the shell script
from the end of the networking script, then remove the backgrounding, if
present. You might have to add a delay to the start of the mountnfs.sh
script, or you could use the builtin wait function when calling the network
startup scripts.
Hope that helps,
