As long as this is a straight 240 volt circuit the black and a re-identified white attach to the breaker. It does not matter which screw is used.

A 120/240 circuit like for a stove or dryer would need a 3 wire + ground feed. In this case the black and red go to the breaker.

To re-identify the white as a hot conductor, use any color besides green or gray. It must be marked wherever it is visible in junction boxes.
