*sigh*

It would be nice if this worked, but such is not the case.

The kernel resets the Numlock state on boot.

See man setleds for a small script that will set Numlock on for the 
Virtual Consoles. That only applies until the next reboot, add the script 
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to set on every boot. setleds is part of 
console-tools, in case you don't have it installed.

For X, numlockx as previously mentioned works just fine, for those not 
running Gnome/KDE as well.
