You are missing the third insmod:

insmod isofs

I often use the Slackware 3.2 CDrom from BL2 (running the
live filesystem via chroot).  I have even compiled some 
kernels that way (from ramdisk BL2).  The only fishhook
is the compiler needs a writeable /tmp, so I pop in a
floppy and mount it at /tmp.

Are you sure that is:  /dev/hdc/  
I would expect:  /dev/hdc

I suggest you try it from BL2 (ramdisk will do).
That might tell us something.
