His syntax shows the installation from within a grub prompt which is right, Yours looks more like what you use with grub-install. Regardless, his approach is how my kickstart has been doing it for years with success...
I think there may be differences in controllers and possibly in failure modes as to whether the 2nd drive becomes seen as the first when the first one fails. But I'm not sure how to know this ahead of time or the right syntax to use for each case. And while the md devices will still build out of the right pieces when they autodetect, you may also need to adjust anything that uses the /dev/sd? names to account for them shifting (or not) and be aware of it in any manual setup commands like using mdadm to force partitions to be added if they didn't come up automatically.
