I see in /etc/yum no *.repo files.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546273 suggests no solution.
Where are *.repo supposed to be? Why after over a month since that bug was
filed doesn't yum just work on a fresh install? How can I fix this without an
install do-over not minimal?

Hrm, you have no repo files? repo files come from fedora-release and
fedora-release-rawhide. Do you have those packages installed? You
should.
Also your network may not come up until you do a dhclient or whatever is
necessary for your network device to be brought up, which may be why you
couldn't get repo data.
You also didn't specify whether you did a minimal install of rawhide, or
branched, as they will get different repos.
