AFAIK dmesg is for kernel messages, your errors are in a startup
script so they aren't getting logged anywhere because syslogd has not
yet started.

Find where in the startup scripts NFS is started and put the command
read junk
in there to stop the startup script so you can read the message, or
try invoking the startup script for NFS manually, if you're lucky
you'll get the same error.
