                        PREMIUM EXEC 386SX/25 AND NUMLOCK KEY

    Problems have been reported with the Numlock key being toggled to the wrong
    state with some Premium Exec 386SX/25 systems.  The problem is that the
    Numlock is enabled when the system boots even if it has been set to "off at
    Boot" in setup.

    The problem is caused by an incorrect line in the system's AUTOEXEC.BAT file
    that results in an erroneously configured keyboard.

    The problem is resolved by removing the following line from the AUTOEXEC.BAT
    file:

        KEYB US,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS
