You did not tell us exactly which image you tried. There are
businesscard and netinstall images for beta2 on cdrom. Both of these
images will not install a usable debian system without a network
connection. So it makes perfect sense to insist on network
configuration. If you only want the first part of the installation you
can configure a static network and the installation will continue
without further asking about network configuration.

You can not make an item go away with simply choosing the next option if
this item is required to complete some steps.
Though I don't know which module exactly depended on netcfg in your
case.

Where did you type ctrl-c? In the screen to select the disk to partition
or in mac-fdisk?
You can leave mac-fdisk by typing q
