I think this really needs to be followed up on the Ubuntu lists. The
error is coming from system initialization, and that's not controlled
by HAL. Only the people familiar with the Ubuntu boot process will
know where that error is coming from and why HAL is triggering it in
your situation. If HAL shouldn't be run on a diskless system or if NFS
needs to be started first, then that can only be solved in the Ubuntu
boot management. HAL does not control NFS.
