If you want to activate num-lock for your text consoles, have a look
at "setleds":  

    setleds +num < /dev/tty1 

Will activate num-lock for the first text console (dev/tty1).  You
can put a little loop like this in your boot scripts to have num-lock
activated on all text consoles at boot time:

    for i in `seq 1 6`; do 
        /usr/bin/setleds +num < /dev/tty${i}
    done
