This should work: VBoxManage convertdd <filename> <outputfile>
where <filename> is the raw disk image and <outputfile> is the new .vdi or if
that doesn't work, try these directions while skiping the first qemu-img

which I guess was updated to tell you do to this instead:
VBoxManage convertdd <before>.bin <after>.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvdi <after>.vdi compact
