transfer image to physical disk

VBoxManage clonehd --format RAW disk.vdi out.raw
dd if=disk.vdi of=/dev/sdDEV bs=4k

to copy out.raw to device linux clone-disk or win win32diskimager can be used

to use clone-disk a loop setup need to be done first with

losetup -f out.raw
losetup -a | grep out.raw

then use /dev/loopXX resulting from losetup -a as source
