I bet it's saying *portmapper* failure ... but anyway, is your
`portmap' starting correctly?  After system starts up, log in, and run

	ps aux | grep '[p]ortmap'

If nothing shows up, then the portmapper isn't starting.  Check to
make sure /usr/sbin/portmap exists.

If it does show up, then run

	rpcinfo -p

and see if you get a list of registered clients.  If you get an error,
you might not have a loopback route.  In that case, make sure
/etc/sysconfig has

	network_interfaces="lo0 ..."
	static_routes="loopback"

Other entries may appear in these two entries.  Just make sure ``lo0''
is network_interfaces and ``loopback'' is in static_routes.  Also, you
need

	ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

and

	route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
