What Ben wrote illustrated by 2 lines of code from the kickstart.
00F80000 1114 MOVE.B (A4),-(A0)
00F80002 4EF900F800D2 JMP $00F800D2
$1114.w for id
jmpopcode.w
and pointer to kickstart init in kick+4 ghosted to 4.w at reset. (and also
absolute part of the jmp command)

not actually supported widely yet. (I could be wrong though).
If they are supposed to resemble java's exceptions then they are used to
catch errors that occur in a method/function/...
