This is probably because you're running orainst directly from the CD-ROM and the program rather bizarre decides that it needs to lock the CD-ROM. Hence, you need rpc.lockd and rpc.statd running prior to doing all that pfs_mount nonsense in the CD-ROM mounting instructions.

I actually copied the CD-ROM onto a hard disk and ran orainst from there - useful for the 11.00 install of 8.0.5 because the installer for that was actually faulty and I had to hack the hard disk copy of the installer to get it to work !
