I don't use nfs.  I take it this is a userspace daemon that busybox doesn't 
contain, but which busybox is expected to find and spawn?  (I thought your 
init scripts were supposed to start the various security-hole daemons 
associated with nfs.  I know Red Hat's do because stopping the suckers was 
always one of my first steps cleaning up a Red Hat system back when I ran 
those...)
