That sounds like the network installer which is available on the Pi4 and Pi5. If the EEPROM part of the bootloader doesn't detect a suitable boot partition, it will try to download a network installer over the Internet. It's intended to get you started on a fresh Pi without needing another system to write your first microSD card. Seeing it on an installed Pi means there's some sort of early boot problem with the boot device (either a bad card/device, bad connection, or something bad on the Pi itself). With a USB boot device, it could maybe be marginal or insufficient power. It could, maybe, be a bug in the EEPROM / firmware, so (in RPi OS):Sometimes when booting I get a white and red screen display that has on the top "Install an operating system on this Raspberry Pi" whereupon it hangs there and never progresses. However, if I completely remove power, and then restart the Pi, it always boots normally.
