There are two main ways this file interacts with a patched PKG:

If using a FAT32 drive, you may need to use a tool like PS3Splitter to cut the PKG into sub-4GB chunks. If using an NTFS drive, simply copy the file directly to the root of the USB stick. Alternately, you can transfer the file over your local network using an FTP client like FileZilla connected to your PS3's IP address. Step 3: Install via XMB Plug the USB drive into the rightmost USB port of your PS3. Turn on the console and enable (if applicable). Navigate to Game > Package Manager > Install Package Files .

In any discussion of PS3 modding, the EBOOT.BIN file is a star player. This is the main executable file for a game, and it's the primary line of defense for security. An "EBOOT patched" PKG is one where this executable has been modified to allow custom code to run.
