This tells the system that the filesystem *must* be mounted for boot to succeed. So if the server is it available, it waits. 2/ Use an automounter or 'autofs' to mount the filesystem. This tells the system that it is perfectly OK to boot where the server is not available. However any attempts to access the mountpoint will block or fail (Depending on automounter configuration) if the server is not accessible. (the 'bg' option is a poor alternative for autofs which was devised before autofs was developed). It seems to me that you want option 2, but are trying to use option 1. I strongly suggest you install 'autofs' and 'yast-autofs' and explore that option.
