Yes, you need a bootloader.

You need to run grub so that it installs itself on your /dev/sdc
device. Something like:
printf "device (hd0) /dev/sdc\nroot (hd0,0)\nsetup (hd0)\nquit\n" | output/staging/sbin/grub --device-map=/dev/null --no-floppy
Let us know if that works. We should certainly extend the documentation
with more details about this.
Best regards,
Thomas
