hello, For custom sequence of boot,you have to know which service depends on on which services.I don't know if any application is available to do that but well if u want to minimize the booting time ,then u can coustomize by own hand.But u have to know which services is for what. you can go /etc/init.d/rc5.d(rc*.d depends on which run revel r using). also check /sbin/chkconfig --list to see enabled service.Then understand each service and stop services if it is nor required at booting time. .i giving two article(end of this message) please refer it .It will help to understand boot proces also in my system it ls
