I assume that by net-install, you mean an amd64 netinst of beowulf, right?
If not, then please clarify which netinst.

The amd64 netinst of beowulf does indeed have ext4 support. As far as
I know, before you can select how to use a partition, you need to
select the mount point. Have you done that first? Did you verify the
netinst image you downloaded isn't corrupted? Have you made sure the
USB stick was written correctly? One of the options the installer has
is to verify the checksums of the packages contained in the disk
image.
