I'm not exactly clear there on what is happening there. What I do know
(and you'll see this mentioned in that link I gave) is that you can
NOT have either of the following in your /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0

The reason is that the adapter has already been brought up. If you
take it down, you've lost your connection to the filesystem.

You mean during the bootup it hangs forever? Whenever I had this error
(or what I think was the same error) it was either because I had one
of those above 2 lines in my interfaces file, or my nfs server wasn't
started

Yes, you do (and maybe thats your answer to #4). As mentioned in that
page I linked to earlier, you need to comment out any mounts for the
local filesystem (including swap) and add a line for the root
partition:
/dev/nfs        /               nfs     defaults 0 0


I don't know about your other questions.
