Can you please investigate this a bit more? This is a serious problem;
if this happens auto-magically as a result of installing either native
or optware packages, we must fix this ASAP. On the other hand, if this
is a result of "pilot error", a note on the wiki would be important.
For SlugOS, not much will work correctly if you don't have /sbin and
/usr/sbin in the root's $PATH, and its also worth noting that those
directories must appear before /opt/sbin or /opt/usr/sbin, if the latter
appear at all.

Yep. Expected... it's an ordering issue. If you install portmap first,
then start it (manually, or reboot), then install nfs-utils, all is
well. But I find that too much effort; I just install it, ignore the
errors that you detail below, and reboot. All should be well after a
reboot.
(And yes, this is a bug in the install/startup scripts for nfs.)

Peruse the mailing list archives; you will want to disable the SlugOS
"automount" facility (/etc/udev/something-or-other). Then mount your
partitions by UUID instead of /dev/sd* -- this will avoid much pain and
sadness.
