I've done the opposite (raw -> UNIX), and simply used "dd". I suspect you can do the same in the opposite direction. Something similar to:

        dd if=/unix/file/system/file of=/dev/raw_device bs=64k

Then of course, you have to adjust the data file names in the Oracle control files, or else use symbolic links from the original names to the new device names.
