The MBR is for the disk, not the partition. So the above are incorrect.

This is the correct syntax to install it to the MBR of /dev/sdc. Is
there enough room for the larger MBR on that hard drive? I think that
grub2 requires at least 1 MB at the start of the drive. What does
fdisk show? What offset does /dev/sdc1 start at?

I think your issue isn't the install of grub2 on the MBR, it is the
boot order in the bios of your computer. The bios has to point to the
hard drive that has the MBR you want to boot from. So, in your case,
you should make sure the boot order in the bios looks at /dev/sdc. In
most modern bioses, there is a function key you can hit to select the
boot device at boot time. Or a key to hit to edit the bios
configuration.
