What's the past tense of the verb 'to reboot'. After I have done
a reboot, do I say that I've rebooted my system (that sounds really
weird)? Or maybe 'rebot'? Any other suggestions for something
that sounds a little better?

paste tense I've heard: rebooted
some options:
cold-started the system
reset the system
rebutted the system
?

How about "I performed a reboot of the system"?
But seriously, since "boot" is actually short for "bootstrap",
one would think that the past tense would be "booted" to go
along with "bootstrapped".
