nfs mount painfully slow in %post

["Andrew M. Williams" <andrew williams sourcefire com>]

redhat 8.0

I've done a ton of digging and a bunch of fiddling but I can't figure 
out why issuing an nfs mount in the %post section takes about 5 minutes 
to return.  (the mount does work)

I was able to get it to return normally but I had to do the following:

* get to the shell in <alt>f2, chroot to /mnt/sysimage
* run /etc/init.d/network start
  this kills the ip on eth0
* manually set the ip on eth0
* manually reset the routes
* start portmapper
* start nfs


Shouldn't this work better than it does?  Is there anyway around this? 
I think I'm probabbly missing something dumb but I can't for the life of 
me figure out what it is.
