It seems the mount is waiting for lockd. On diskless install,
dbootstrap try to mount nfs partition without "nolock" option. For
workaround, you can do "Execute a Shell" and type
# mount -o nolock server:/path /target
instead of "Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition" on diskless
install.
Isn't this a bug of dbootstrap ? Here is a patch.
