That is consistent with the manual:

  @node set_board_info procedure, [...]
  This checks if @code{board_info} array's field @emph{entry} has been
  set already and if not, then sets it to @emph{value}.

Rob, I never understood why this was so. Why not just override board
settings? Perhaps that explains why I have seen DejaGnu baseboard
definitions that modify the board_info array directly rather than go
via proc set_board_info.
