Actually I don't think this is going to work.. 1. Your .img file is a dump of the root filesystem (/dev/sda1), not of the whole drive (/dev/sda). Therefore I think converting it to .vdi doesn't make much sense. 2. VirtualBox can't emulate ARM, so even if you manage to convert it to a VirtualBox drive, it won't run anything on it.
One option might be to run it with QEMU, which can emulate ARM. I'm playing with that right now..
