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.
