Nearly. Step 1.1 is to add the KEY records generated from step 1 to
the unsigned zone file. This could be done by editing the file or by
means of a $INCLUDE directive. Read the man pages for dnssec-keygen
and dnssec-signzone. Step 1.2 would be to run dnssec-makekeyset, get
the parent zone to sign those keys and incorporate those signatures
into the zone file prior to signing. This step only applies if the
parent zone is DNSSEC-aware.

BTW the process of zone signing is documented in the BIND9
Administrator's Reference Manual.
