I've set up my Windows 8 notebook to project only on a second screen that's connected with VGA. This works perfectly fine, but whenever I reboot (and yes: I do have the VGA cable connected before I boot it up), it defaults back to the notebook's screen.

Is there any way to fix this?

You could try to reinitialize the monitors data from scratch by deleting in the registry all the keys under :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\

and then reboot.

Export this key first just in case, and even better - create a system restore point.

This could be an issue related to your graphics driver. I would suggest downloading the latest driver from the manufacturer's web-site, uninstall the current driver, and install the new driver making sure to select Clean Installation if the option is available.
