I get this

2016-03-16 17:17:08 libevent: getaddrinfo: address family for nodename not supported
2016-03-16 17:17:08 Binding RPC on address 127.0.0.1 port 8332 failed.

When I start bitcoind not during boot but later with the same script it works.

How are you starting it during boot? You've added a dependency that at least networking is up by the time bitcoind is started?

I use this script: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/init/bitcoind.service

I have used @reboot bitcoind -daemon cron entry in the past and found the same issue on my Raspberry Pi. Updating the entry to @reboot sleep 5; bitcoind -daemon seems to have resolved the issue for me.
