Are you using NIS by any chance?  I remember having similar problem a 
while ago
with mounting NFS filesystems from /etc/fstab during boot that were due to
ypbind being started after netfs (although, according to Bill, some other
forces were to blame).

See also this bug report.  It is for FC3, but might be relevant to EL4 too.

Some possible workarounds:

Adding "sleep 5" at beggining of netfs script.

Reordering netfs and ypbind scripts in /etc/rc?.d directories (if using NIS).
