The "@" usually means a symbolic link, but that is shown at the end of the line, after the filename, and not in the middle of the line like what you have.
Can you post more details like:
[1] Do you have sudo permissions to root?
[2] Have you tried using the "Verify/Repair Permissions" in Disk Utiity?
[3] Full path names to these directories/partitions...something like /Volumes/<HD-name> & "ls -ld" o/p for the same.
To troubleshoot most such issues, you do not need to boot from a Boot CD. Finder is smart enough to help you take of this, since that is where you broke stuff from. Note that the exception to this is when you hose your boot disk.
Also, to troubleshoot a 10.4.11 issue, use a Tiger Boot CD instead of a Leopard CD.
I don't have a PB but am checking my options on my MBP. As such Tiger should be Tiger on both, so there shouldn't be any difference. But keep this in mind.
You could also get more help at other Mac sites like macosxhints, macfixit etc.

Hardware:
IBM 300PL
32MB RAM
60Gig HDD
During the phase in SCO installation where I get to partition my hard disk, SCO only seems to see 8Gig out of the 60 that I have.
Does anyone out there know of a utility or what I need to do to make the the whole 60Gig available.

device_remap
device_remap(1M) System Administration Commands device_remap(1M)
NAME
device_remap - administer the Solaris I/O remapping feature
SYNOPSIS
/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap [-v | -R dir]
DESCRIPTION
Certain multi-node sun4v platforms, such as T5440 and T5240 servers, have an integrated PCI topology that cause the I/O device paths to
change in a CPU node failover condition. The device remapping script, device_remap, remaps the device paths in /etc/path_to_inst file and
the symlinks under /dev to match the hardware.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-v
Displays the /etc/path_to_inst and /dev symlink changes.
-R dir
Perform remapping on the /etc/path_to_inst and /etc/path_to_inst files in the root image at dir.
USAGE
The primary function of device_remap is to remap the device paths in the /etc/path_to_inst file and the symlinks under /dev in a CPU node
failover condition to match the hardware.
After adding CPU node(s) or removing CPU node(s), boot the system to the OBP prompt and use the following procedure:
1. Boot either the failsafe miniroot using: boot -F failsafe , or an install miniroot using boot net -s or similar command.
2. Mount the root disk as /mnt.
3. Change directory to the mounted root disk:
# cd /mnt
4. Run device_remap script:
# /mnt/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/device_remap
5. Boot the system from disk.
All the error messages are self-explanatory, except for the error message "missing ioaliases node" which means the firmware on the system
does not support device remapping.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Displaying Changes Following Failover
The following command displays the path_to_inst and /dev changes following a CPU node failover.
# device_remap -v
Example 2 Changing Directory Prior to Any Changes
The following command changes the directory on which the boot image is mounted prior to making any changes.
# device_remap -R /newroot
