Couldn't let it rest today:

So I followed my suspicion from yesterday and indeed, with the changes from commit 1109691f1d2 applied on top of 4fc402b6183 the hangs after the NFS mounts are gone and the Indigo² happily boots to the login prompt and works correctly, so this is not the real problem. Checking out the whole repo at 1109691f1d2 and compiling it also gives the same result.

So we got a new good commit and the last bad commit that didn't hang after the NFS mounts as new bad commit for another round of bisecting. This time only 104 commits to search through, "roughly 7 steps" according to git bisect.
