locking supposes that you are already running a statd daemon, which you clearly cannot be doing on an nfsroot system. If you need locking on a root partition, then you'll need to set up an initrd from which to start all the necessary daemons...
BTW: Did I understand you and Neil correctly when you appeared to say that you were sharing the *same* root partition between several clients?
If so, then that could easily explain your problem: a directory like /var/lib/nfs simply cannot be shared among several different machines. Read the 'statd' manpage, and I'm sure you will understand why.
