dmesg command does not show date of last boot.

Are there some other commands to find date of last boot?

That was fun. Google helped me with this; the crappy skillz are all mine.

Why create something that is already built in?

Because I learned something by doing it.

As I mentioned previously, the last command lists when the system was rebooted.

I'm not sure it does:

$ last reboot
wtmp begins Fri Jun  1 08:31:38 EDT 2012
$ uptime
 9:30PM  up 529 days,  8:25, 4 users, load averages: 0.02, 0.18, 0.17

...and even so, would it show a cold boot, or only a reboot?

I'll credit Doug Hardie with the best solution:
$ ls -l /var/run/dmesg.boot
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7248 Dec 26  2010 /var/run/dmesg.boot

Keep well,

You too.
