...makes it sound like the machine is set to PXE boot by default.  The
default PXE boot (if you don't press F8 fairly quickly) is the WinAthena
installer.  It could also result if earlier boot options aren't valid, so
could occur if the disk was trashed, but you wouldn't have been able to
boot into Athena 10 afterwards if it was.  Can you check your boot device
ordering?
