You don't say how it fails; what the error is, but I can see that
syntactically you are missing line-continuation characters. You need a
backslash on the end of each line, like this:
echo "INSTALLING ADDITIONAL BASE OS RPMS..."
/bin/rpm -Uvh \
/mnt/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-5.1.x86_64.rpm \
/mnt/libf2c-3.4.4-2.fc3.x86_64.rpm \
/mnt/cpp-3.4.4-2.fc3.x86_64.rpm \
and so on, on every line EXCEPT THE LAST. What this does is escape (or
mask) the carriage return, so that you have a list of rpms for the rpm
command to process.
What you had before was effectively a command to install one rpm,
followed by "/mnt/libf2c-3.4.4-2.fc3.x86_64.rpm" executed as a command,
which is nonsense.
HTH,
