The boot image name is different to what its trying to boot.
Try renaming the file to c2900XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.4.WC.1.bin
'rename flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.4.WC.bin flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.4.WC.1.bin'
Or,
'set BOOT=flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz.120-5.4.WC.bin'
I think that's the command... hope that helps
