You may want to look into automount instead of hard (which though explicit, is the default). The hard mount will only matter if the mount happened at all. The "hard" parameter says that if the connection FAILS it will lock until it resumes. It does not state that it will keep trying to mount the filesystem.

If you boot the client before the remote share is available, then you never mounted the remote system. That is why you have to manually mount it later.

mount.nfs

MOUNT.NFS(8)                                                  System Manager's Manual                                                 MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME

       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION

       mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       mount.nfs  is  meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
       command with limited functionality.

       remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.  dir is the directory on which the file system  is  to  be
       mounted.

       Under  Linux  2.6.32  and  later  kernel  versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

OPTIONS

       -r     Mount file system readonly.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -V     Print version.

       -w     Mount file system read-write.

       -f     Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.  By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
              an entry.

       -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.

       -h     Print help message.

       nfsoptions
              Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.

NOTE

       For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.

FILES

       /etc/fstab        file system table

       /etc/mtab         table of mounted file systems
