A friend of mine has a Clone IBM compatible.  It is a 12mhz 80286.
When it is turned on, during the initialization process (i.e. memory
check, etc.) the NumLock light goes on.

While this is not the end of the world, is there some way to turn
it back off in the autoexec.bat file.  Or better yet, is there some
way to prevent it happening in the first place.
