This problem looks very similar to one I had 6 months ago upgrading 3.1 -> 3.2.
I installed NFS using inst whilst the machine was in multiuser mode.
When I rebooted the machine, everything worked fine except for NFS giving
messages like the above. To fix this I used the lboot command to reconfigure 
the system, rebooted and everything worked o.k.
I hope this helps.
