A/UX and Mac X questions

I have two questions (sort of) concerning A/UX.

1.  Our university is considering buying a site license for MAC TCP/IP.
     But, we have heard a rumor that MacX comes with MacTCP.
     Can anyone confirm/deny this?

2.  We are trying to prepare a hard disk drive with AUX 2.0 on it
     to install in case of system crashes.  (Our backbone has been making
     funny noises lately)  We installed a fresh copy from tape onto the 
     HD.  We booted it on a Mac II (plain II) with no problem.  Then, just
     for grins, we took the drive out of the II and installed it in an
     SE/30.  Wouldn't boot.   Actually, it would boot, but it kept coming
     up with an error message, something about device drivers or something
     like that.  Now, my question is, do we have to install a new copy on
     the HD everytime we switch machines (a lengthy process at best from
     that cheesy tape drive we have) or is there some way to get it to
     reconfigure itself upon boot up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
