Have you tried setting the "noauto" option for the root FS in /etc/fstab ?
IIRC, that's all that I did for a cluster based on RH 7.2, no modification 
in the rc files (of course that means I get an error of not being able to 
run 'fsck.nfs' on each boot).

And "nolock" too, by default. OTOH, I deemed NFSv3 unnecessary for the 
client root FS that I created: it's mostly for reading anyway and there 
are no files larger than 2 GB...
