Either rpc.bind or rpc.portmap and then rpc.statd need to be started
manually (in that order) before you may mount the NFS partition without
'-onolock'. The lockd daemon itself will be started by the kernel
whenever there is a need for it.

Please check your 'init' boot scripts to find out why they are not being
started as expected.
