stuck at this install step....
Mount the original boot media. For this guide, TC was booted from an IDE cd-rom drive on the second channel:
mount /mnt/hdc
i am installing from an external USB cd/dvd drive and have no idea what to enter here.

Mount Tool on the menu bar (it's also available through the control panel) should show you what devices you have.
FWIW, on my box the (built-in) CD drive is sr0 [that's zero, not oh].

What happens when you type:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
You may need to change "root (hd0,0)" to whatever partition you have Tiny Core on.
What partition is it?
Don't change "setup (hd0)"

Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.

You can use grub's built in 'find' to determine the drive and partition.
grub> find /boot/tinycore.gz
(hd0,0)
