fstab mount nfs boot press S to skip mounting

Many time when booting machine that setting fstab to boot nfs file server and found this error look like this:

The disk drive for /nfspath is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

and found this error in syslog like this:

mountall: mount /nfspath [617] terminated with status 32
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server nfsserver: Temporary failure in name resolution

Ater search a bit we can avoid to wait when boot by edit fstab and put "nobootwait" option after line
Before:

nfsserver:/nfsserverpath    /nfspath    nfs    bg,vers=3,tcp,hard,intr

After:

nfsserver:/nfsserverpath    /nfspath    nfs    bg,vers=3,tcp,hard,intr,nobootwait
