I am not sure what all else is happening, but EOM here 
is not exactly a command.

The sequence:

  cat > /mnt/etc/fstab <<EOM
  /dev/fd0a    /    ufs    rw  1  1
EOM

Tells it to cat the following lines up until the EOM in to
the file names /mnt/etc/fstab

Namely, it puts the line
    /dev/fd0a    /    ufs    rw  1  1

in to that file.
It is making a mini /etc/fstab file with the /dev/fdoa entry.

You may need to put other/more stuff in it.

The other ones are similar, but different stuff to different
files - the passwd and master.passwd files.
