Turn off the tarball option, or create /dev/hdc and recreate your tarball.
What's happening is upon startup the tarball is used to create the initial
/dev contents. I'm willing to bet the tarball does not have the /dev/hdc
link, therefore it is not being created.
I know that when I did the udev migration it had some steps to build the
tarball, but as I remember I too was missing the /dev/hd{c,d} links. By
setting tarball to no, udev manually recreates the /dev directory based upon
the devices themselves so it will be there.
