      Description of problem:
      Prompt confused warnings and can't find OS when v2v convert guest which has empty SATA cdrom via vmx

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      virt-v2v-2.3.7-1.el9.x86_64
      guestfs-tools-1.51.6-1.el9.x86_64
      libguestfs-1.50.1-6.el9.x86_64
      nbdkit-server-1.36.1-1.el9.x86_64
      libnbd-1.18.1-3.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1.Prepare a guest which has empty cdrom and cdrom device type is SATA
      #cat Auto-esx8.0-rhell9.3-efi-with-empty-cdrom/Aut
      o-esx8.0-rhell9.3-efi-with-empty-cdrom.vmx |grep 'sata0:0'
      sata0:0.startConnected = "FALSE"
      sata0:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
      sata0:0.fileName = ""
      sata0:0.present = "TRUE"

      2.Convert the guest from VMware via vmx by v2v

      1.  virt-v2v -i vmx -it ssh ssh://root@10.73.212.36/vmfs/volumes/esx8.0-function/Auto-esx8.0-rhell9.3-efi-with-empty-cdrom/Auto-esx8.0-rhell9.3-efi-with-empty-cdrom.vmdk -ip /home/esxpwd

        virt-v2v: error: inspection could not detect the source guest (or physical 
        machine).

      Assuming that you are running virt-v2v/virt-p2v on a source which is 
      supported (and not, for example, a blank disk), then this should not 
      happen.

      No root device found in this operating system image.

      If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
      complete output:

        virt-v2v -v -x [...]

      Actual results:
      As above description

      Expected result:
      virt-v2v can  convert guest which has empty SATA cdrom via vmx

      Additional info:
      virt-v2v can  convert guest which has empty IDE cdrom via vmx

      #cat Auto-esx6.7-rhel7.7-host_cd-without-filename/Auto-esx6.7-rhel7.7-host_cd-
      without-filename.vmx x |grep 'ide0:0'
      ide0:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
      ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
      ide0:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
      ide0:0.fileName = ""
      ide0:0.startConnected = "FALSE"
