I couldn't get it to work the first few times I tried. Then I found the instructions:
Update data download procedure
- Create a folder on the storage media in which to save the update data.
Using a PC, create a folder named “PS3” on the storage media or USB device. Within the PS3 folder, create a folder named “UPDATE”.
- Download the update data and save it in the "UPDATE" folder created in step 1.

I had trouble getting my PS3 to recognize photos and videos, but I saw the "view all" option that let me find everything on the flash drive. Not sure if you can "view all" for the update process.
