Problems with portmap when turning off diskless computers

[Christophe <cbi@pax.priv.no>]

Hi,
I have a diskless PC  that boots over the net
using etherboot.
It works very nicely (even though I struggled with
the setup :-)
BTW, I run the latest 2.2.9 linux kernels but my
problem also
occurs with experimental 2.1.1xx linux versions.

Anyway, my last problem is that I don't seem to be
able to shutdown
my diskless computer properly.  The initial
shutdown steps look fine,
but these are approximately the latest messages I
get on the screen:
--------------------------------
Shutting down lp: lpd
Shutting down system loggers: syslogd
klogdUnmounting remote filesystems
.rm:/var/lock/subsys/nfsfs: Read-only file system
Stopping portmap services: portmap
rm:/var/lock/subsys/nfsfs/portmap: Read-only file
system
RPC:  sendmsg returned error 101
----------------------------------

And the last sentence is repeated continuously
with approx. 4-5 seconds
between each time the line is repeated.

Has anyone seen this message ?   Is it safe to
turn off
the diskless computer anyway ?   (it seems the nfs
file system *is*
safely unmounted,  earlier in the lgout sequence I
read:
Shutting down NFS services:  rpc.mountd rpc.nfsd)

What can I do  do avoid the RPC error messages ?

I hope someone can help
Best regards
