I've have had the same problem, found the reason and solved it.
The problem is caused by the usage of the non existing group 'nvram' in /etc/udev//rules.d/40-permissions.rules:
...
KERNEL=="nvram", GROUP="nvram"
...
When udev starts, is looks up 'nvram'. While 'nvram' could not be found in /etc/group NSS tries to connect the ldap server. As result the boot sequence stops.
To fix this problem is very easy: Add the local group 'nvram' to /etc/groups
After that booting with nss_ldap and bind_policy hard works without any problem.
