You can set mumlock to on with the "setleds" command, see man setleds for 
more information.

The next script will turn numlock on for the first six consoles.

#!/bin/sh
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-6]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done

When you save it as /etc/rc2.d/S20setleds numlock will be set at the system
startup.
