Yes, but this is not a complete process of bringing up and booting a new disk. You've only quoted the commands that install an MBR. You also need to label the disk, create partitions in the label, create a file system on those partitions and then install the boot loader on /boot of the ad3s1a partition. Can you show us *ALL* the steps?
