Is there a way to tell when a system was first booted?
Does "uptime" do what you want or do you mean booted for the truly very
first time (not counting reboots)? - John

well uptime will tell most recent boot,

not exactly what you asked, but the log files in /var/log/installer can tell you when the current o/s was installed

if you mean when the hardware was first booted, there might be something in /sys or maybe somewhere in BIOS PRAM, but that's almost certainly motherboard-specific.
