Yep. That's because the network hasn't been initialized at this stage.
"boot.local" is *just* for _local_ services, ie. those that don't rely
on the network etc. You should instead activate the "nfs" service (e.g.
using chkconfig or insserv) and off you go; here's the description of
the service (taken from /etc/init.d/nfs):

  ### BEGIN INIT INFO
  # Provides: nfs
  # Required-Start: $network $portmap
  # Required-Stop:
  # Default-Start: 3 5
  # Default-Stop:
  # Description: Imports remote Network File Systems (NFS)
  ### END INIT INFO

When you look at the script and see what it does, you'll see it'll just
mount the NFS file systems.
