in /var/log/syslog, about half a second before statd's startup failures. This might explain them.
Again, no indication why portmap would fail. There's no /var/log/upstart/portmap.log. When I ssh in after boot, 'status portmap' shows 'start/running'. /var/log/boot.log says
* Starting Upstart job to start rpcbind on boot only[ OK ]
* Starting Upstart job to start portmap on boot only[ OK ]
* Stopping Upstart job to start rpcbind on boot only[ OK ]
* Stopping Upstart job to start portmap on boot only[ OK ]
* Stopping Mount network filesystems[ OK ]

which indicates no portmap failures, although it's a bit strange to see both 'RPC port mapper' and 'RPC portmapper replacement' both.
