This is not an official answer, but I can tell you of something that worked for me.

1. You can start geth separately and use command line options geth cli options to make it start on your preferred network.

2. You can change the default network in your Mist/Ethereum settings. I don't know if it is recommended, but I did and it worked.

   • Find the folder where the Mist settings are stored. On Mac it is under ~/Library/Application Support/Ethereum Wallet. On windows maybe it is something like C:\users\app data\roaming\Mist.
   • There was a file called 'network' here. Back it up.
   • Then edit it. There was only one line in the file - either _main_ or _test_.
   • On restarting, it started with the required network.

For me the network file was showing "rinkeby" I had to restart my mac to open mist on rinkeby at start again :/
