Um.  No, you weren't.

Where did you get //device?  This is not what is documented.

Use /dev/fd0.  That's what is suggested in the documentation.

You'll also probably be safer using cygwin notation for all of your

dd if=/cygdrive/d/dd/boot2.img of=/dev/fd0

The other way doesn't work anymore.  That's why there is an advisory about
Cygwin 1.3.4.
