Number Lock Default on i386 / OBSD 3.4



I'm having a little problem I was wondering if someone can 
help me solve.

Following good security practices, I mix numbers as well as 
letters and symbols with my passwords.  I am used to using 
the keypad on i386 systems for punching in the numbers.

When the system boots up, I always have to hit the numlock 
key to turn it on despite having set the BIOS/CMOS to turn 
on my numlock by default, the system shuts it off again 
during boot.  I tried wsconsctl -w keyboard.ledstate=2
but this does not work.  Although the Num Lock Light goes 
on, I am NOT in Num Lock mode.  I have to cycle the Numlock 
again to turn it on.

Does anyone have a way I can solve this little problem?
Thanks!
