(Get the code!)
We have now confirmed that the problem is the NFS mounts in /etc/fstab.
Setting the NFS entries in fstab to "noauto" completely removes the problem:
There is no timeout during boot, and no lockup any more. The machine boote smoothly with the NFS-shares unmounted. After the machine is up, we can manually mount the NFS-shares without a problem.
This is definitely a race condition during bootup:
the NFS shares seem to be mounted at a time, where the network is not yet up, and waiting for the network to come up locks up the boot process.
