I have the same here, I also get these two error message, but it does
work here.

rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"
rpcbind: cannot open file = /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr for writing


The nfsroot is mounted ro, but we use aufs for having write acces to
the nfsroot. MAke sure your kernel cmdline includes the option
aufs. My kernel cmdline looks like this:

rw aufs  ip=dhcp root=1.2.3.4:/srv/fai/nfsroot FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://faiserver/srv/fai/cconfig FAI_ACTION=install vga=794
