It appears your automounter is having problems.
Is is hanging during the progress messages?
You can use control shift \, to skip that step.

Ganesh,

Since it is a fresh OS, we do not know whether you have defined any NFS setting or not.

Here is the suggested steps:-

1. Interrupt the boot sequence with CTRL SHIFT | (pipe),
or reboot into single-user mode.

2. Modify the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file:

A. Change NFS_CLIENT=0 from NFS_CLIENT=1.

B. Chnage NFS_SERVER=1 to NFS_SERVER=0.

3. Continue the reboot, or reboot the system.

It is often the case, that the system either is not using NFS at all,
or the NFS Servers listed in /etc/fstab are down, or not responding.
If the system is not intended to use NFS, then these steps should
resolve the issue.

However, if the system is intended to use NFS, then examine the NFS
servers listed in /etc/fstab to determine if they are indeed up and
serving NFS. To prevent down NFS servers from hanging the boot
sequence, the bg mount option should be specified in /etc/fstab.

For example, the following /etc/fstab entry...

test.com:/ /nfs/test nfs rw,suid 0 0

...should be changed to:

test.com:/ /nfs/test nfs bg,rw,suid 0 0

After modifying /etc/fstab, edit NFS_CLIENT=1 in
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf so that the NFS client will function at the
next reboot. Afterwards, run the /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start script
to start NFS client, or reboot the system.

Hi

pid 762@/net --> indicate issue with automounter.

Better to startover, disable the automounter/autofs in nfsconf by boot into single user mode.

boot the system, then check the NFS configuration files and avilablity of nfs server.

Hope this will help.

This kind of behaviour can be caused by incorrect network settings as well.
Check the following files to see if they're still correct :
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
