Use the "last" command. It will show you all reboots and logins since the OS was installed. The first login or reboot listed will be the first one after the OS install. Also, there is a line at the end "wtmp begins . . . ." which is when the file that tracks the reboots and logins was first written. Both of those clues should be only minutes from when the OS load finished.
