i tested the steps on a test server for restore of master, model, msdb.
on cluster setup production i have
Cluster administrator
SER01 (OWNER AND GROUP IS SER05_L1)
SER02 Standby
SER03 Live
SER03 will be rebuilt.
(OWNER AND GROUP IS SER05_L2
So my steps are to stop SQL SERVER
Net stop MSSQL$SER05_L2\L2
restart in single mode
Net start MSSQL$SER05_L2\L2 /c /m
--restore master.bak
SQLCMD –S SER05_L2\L2 -E -Q"restore database master from disk = '\\backups\master.bak
' with replace"
Are the netstop and netstart correct i am stopping the SQL Server instance name and not the
cluster node name.

been a while since I did a cluster but if you use net stop cluster will failover rather than stop, you need to stop via cluster admin by offlining SQL
Also starting a cluster in single use mode can be a problem because the heartbeat jumps in there. There is a workaround I am sure, search on this site and google 'starting cluster in single user mode' or similar to check this out.
