You have to insert a microSD card in your TF, then place your file in its root.
Now you can install through the method you followed.

Weird issue here, i'm trying to flash a rom via CWM 3.0.0.x and it can't find my zip file after i've partitioned the sd card for data2ext, help? I've tried to put the zip file in a folder on the sd card and renaming it to update.zip haven't helped.
[Q] When rooting my Gtab2 P5110 European model according to "[How To] Root - Galaxy Tab 2 10.1", (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056) the file cwm-root-gtab2a.zip cannot be found;
I followed the steps as explained.
Used ODIN to flash recovery.tar.md5
I had copied the file cwm-root-gtab2a.zip to the internal SD card.
Rebooted into recovery
selected the option "install zip from sdcard."
Then I cannot see the file cwm-root-gtab2a.zip.
Actually An error is displayed: Cannot mount SD card
also the approach to mount /SDcard in recovery shows the error
why can /SDcard not be mounted?
[A] use external /SDcard to find cwm-root-gtab2a.zip
Figured out a workaround.
Instead of storing cwm-root-gtab2a.zip on /mnt/sdcard
I copied the file to /mnt/extSdCard and ran the process again.
(you need an external SDCard in the Tab2 microSD slot)
Now I could install cwm-root-gtab2a.zip.

the instructions specifically said you must use the sdcard, not the internal memory. your sd card is extSdCard. So not to be rude but you made a thread that just says what the how-to guide tells people what they should do.
Copy cwm-root-gtab2.zip (or cwm-root-gtab2a.zip) to the ROOT of your sdcard ( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the sdcard in the slot. The /mnt/sdcard folder is in the internal memory and won't be recognized in recovery. -Weltwon

Why would you need an external card, when you download it goes to internal SD. As in root/sd card/download. When you look in root/ext sd card you don't see the file.

Sent from my GT P-5113 using xda HD that does not force close everytime I hit submit.

you are fully right, if I would have read the instructions more carefully I would have used an external SD card. As I did not have one I ran into the problems that CWM did not find the cwm-root-gtab2a.zip.
Thanks for reflection.
to PanchoPlanet
the external SD card /mnt/extSdCard is needed as else CWM recovery will not find the file. this is what happened to me when I tried to root my european P5110 and why I issued this thread. It is clearly described in the instructions as Darunion states.
Doesn't work for me

My cwm can read internal SDCard just fine, maybe becuse it's newer version (6.0.1)
Hi,
I am trying to install a ROM (Revolver) but when I boot into recovery and select "chose zip from SD card" it only show files like Alarm\, Android\, and application folders on the tablet and not the contents of the microSd card. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can get to the .zip files on the microSD card?
Thanks,
Jerry
That version of recovery doesn't read external SD cards, only internal, you'll need to upgrade to Rouge XM or another that supports external.

Select "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card".

Hi,
Your sd card may be corrupt.
You could make a copy of anything important on it , format it , and try again
Good luck!
