BIOS is an option on any computer, as long as its an actual computer.
The problem is, linux resets that setting once it boots, so it doesn't
matter. Mandrake has a service called numlock that will turn on the
numlock. Redhat does not have such a service. You could try installing
the mandrake rpm...

I make no guarantees, though. Try rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm on the
src.rpm version. It'll appear in /usr/src/RedHat/RPMS/*. do a find
/usr/src/RedHat -name "*.rpm" to find it. Redhat is missing so many of
these cute things that make Mandrake so much more useable as a regular
home user. As much as Warren tells me how cool redhat will be when he's
done with it and how great their kernel is, I always get depressed
sitting here on the RH machine when I remember how well things worked in
mandrake. But try rebuliding that rpm and we'll see how it turns out.
