This is from the setleds man page, to get the whole page do a $ man
setleds

Try this:

EXAMPLE
       One might use setleds in /etc/rc to define the initial and
       default state of NumLock, e.g. by

              INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
              for tty in $INITTY; do
                     setleds -D +num < $tty
              done
