You don't need nfsiod for mounting, but you do need to resolve the
names. If you're running a name server, I don't think it's reasonable
to expect an /etc/hosts entry for each system you're mounting NFS file
systems from. Unfortunately, named doesn't get started until
network_pass2, so this can't work in a name server environment.
Here's a suggested patch:

The & after the mount command is to let it continue to try to mount
file systems on systems which are not currently up; otherwise system
startup will hang at this point. As you see, I also agree with the
sentiment that the messages should be seen.
