Actually, there it wasn't.  Bill Nottingham of RedHat asked me to try 
putting "sleep 5" at the beggining of netfs script instead or reordering 
the services in rc?.d directories.  And all the sudden, everything works 
as expected.  Just to share this with the group in case somebody has the 
same problem and finds this thread in the archives.
