No, you can only set predefined options. They all have a unique 32 bit id 
(type) and a data type (format). In bcdedit you can also use display names 
for most of the settings for easier editting.

The ones used by winloader are listed here:

From several bits of documentation I've found it looks like you should be able 
to add custom types, but I couldn't find an API for it.

I think SystemStartOptions is only set for compatibility reasons, mine only 
contains a few of the BCD options that are set. How it maps BCD options to a 
SystemStartOptions value.. no clue. I couldn't get it to include a custom 
string there.

The ver output on Windows Server 2008:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

And Vista:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]

Please not that localized versions also translate the "Version" string, eg a 
Dutch version says "[versie 6.0.6000]" instead.
