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.
