Ok, network and NFS mounts work as expected now. For the network
configuration I did:

$ systemctl enable network.service
$ systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
plus added NM_MANAGED=no to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX

Not sure if I had to do all of them, but works now :) Thanks!

Hmm, seems to work for me

A bit more feedback on the NIS front:

For whatever reason ypbind is not brought up by systemd on boot
(chkconfig lists ypbind as on for r3,r5; when I do 
$ systemctl enable ypbind.service
ypbind.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig ypbind on

After a reboot the service is not brought up and I have to start it
manually :(

I managed to get NIS working manually. Perviously, I was missing a "nis"
in /etc/nsswitch and changed it to:

passwd: files nis

Once systemd will be able to bring up my ypbind, I'll be happy :) On
that note, I'd be happy to assist in any debugging. Just let me know.

Thanks,
Severin
