We didn't have this problem; portmap was added from fai.conf to
nfsroot...

yes, it was developed for that... and here it works...

it doesn't hang here... 
have you already a /etc/yp.conf in your chroot environment ? here one
exists, containing our ypservers...

should be the same behaviour as in fai:
after installation, $target/sbin/start-stop-daemon is an ELF
executable...
the diversion of /sbin/start-stop-daemon at the end of installation in
subroutines-linux:task_finish; if the installation breaks before 
reaching the end, this diversion isn't removed...
