Dual Screen boot

Hi, I have 2 screens connected to my nVidia 8400GS and would like to change my video card settings so that the system boot shows in the Digital screen and not in the Analog one.
Any suggestions?

You just need to include the following line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the device section or where you specify the nvidia driver.

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"

or

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"

Thank you for your answer Electro, but my problem isn't at the X server, but before. I want the full boot to be shown where my Digital Screen is.

That is not a linux problem, but more a hardware/BIOS issue.
You might contact your vendor or manufactorer.
I use two digital monitors with a nvidia card and they both show the same content from boot on.
