For what it's worth, I think it's only checking to see if the system has
some particular configuration files, and deciding that it's a "first
boot" if they don't exist.  Then, it'll either ask you all those first
boot questions, or exit.

If you've definitely got a working system that's been booted up many
times, then you ought to be to turn off that service and perhaps speed
up booting by a small bit.  I disabled it on PCs that were well past
their first boot, and haven't noticed any problems.
