Run your scripts in a subshell and redirect STDOUT and STDERR to a log file.

%post --nochroot
(
mkdir /mnt/sysimage/usr/src/FSR/
cp /mnt/stage2/FSR/*  /mnt/sysimage/usr/src/FSR/
) 2>&1 > /mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log

%post
(
cd /usr/src/FSR/
tar -xvzf ....
cd ....
make
make install
....
eject
) 2>&1 > /root/ks-post.log
