I am using Mac OS X 10.3 on PPC G5 dual processor. I want to know about the

Is it possible to implement a proc file system on Mac which should be similar
to linux proc filesystem?
I don't doubt that it's possible (-:
Our VFS layer is based on 4.4BSD, which includes a basic procfs.
Apple did not pick this up to include in Mac OS X, but there's no
reason why you couldn't port it. In fact, it seems that someone has
already taken a shot at it.

Also i want to know about the boot sequence of Mac.
There's a document on our web site that covers this.

It's very high-level, but it should get you heading in the right direction.
There's also a variety of non-Apple resources covering this. For example:
