It isn't necessary to turn the cache off in order to get the BB to work. A better solution is to RUN >NIL: <NIL: Enforcer QUIET. Enforcer was included with the 2.1 Janus software. Or you can download the latest version of Enforcer from the CIS data libs. Enforcer allows you to keep the data cache turned on, which will significantly speed up many Amiga programs, but enables the BB to operate correctly. In fact the BB will actually work fine with the data cache turned on even if Enforcer isn't running, but you will find that the Janus software such as AMOUSE, ATIME, AREAD, and AWRITE will not work. You also won't be able to use JLINKed files unless Enforcer is running or the data cache is turned off. Using Enforcer is the preferred method and is even recommended in the CBM supplied info sheet that came with the Janus 2.1 upgrade. You can run Enforcer in your startup before you run Binddrivers. You can also write a script or AREXX program which does the same thing but only before you get ready to boot up the BB. The important thing to remember is that you must run Enforcer BEFORE you execute Binddrivers.
