Gentoo comes with a script to do this (/etc/init.d/numlock). Looking at
the script I see it runs setleds. Checking on a RH9 box I see that setleds
is included. So maybe you can craft together an init script to do
something like:
setleds -D +num < /dev/tty1
Or for all virt consoles:
for tty in $(seq 1 6)
do
setleds -D +num < /dev/${tty} &>/dev/null
done
