NFS is a PITA to manage. With frequent hangs, you might want to
manually mount it after startup. If it is read-only data, you
might consider mounting the filesystem soft so NFS issues will
not lock your system. Most documentation will discourage the use
of soft mounts, however.

Very succinctly, /etc. :)

After your system loads the kernel and starts init, it starts up
the runlevel that is specified in /etc/inittab. Say your default
runlevel is 3. The scripts under /etc/rc.d/rc3.d are run in
alphanumerical order.
