You haven't stated which version, but here's the link for 2008 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958734, which is essentially the same as you have outlined.

If you are on 2005, then there is a different approach as discussed in this article : http://blogs.technet.com/b/mdegre/archive/2010/01/16/apply-a-sql-server-2008-service-pack-or-hotfix-to-a-failover-cluster-instance.aspx
