Another thing to try: add the hostname wettefamily and its ip number in /etc/hosts, just to make sure that your system can find the nfs server even if DNS is not yet fully active during that phase of the boot. DNS should be working, but especially when using a dynamic ip address there may be some delay (client requests and gets ip address, server updates dynamic dns if that is enabled, and nfs server has to verify that address, but may get an older cached version of the dns info).
