You can add any command to the boot.plist file so you wont have to input it manualy every time.
Anyway, did you install it on the second drive/partition ?

before you boot and just at bios stage trying using the function keys usually marked blue to switch just to external first then continue to boot

Tried that but when system boots and the desktop is about to show - internal one turns on again. Switching it off with the key again breaks both displays.
