The TPM is passive, it wont give you any warnings or messages at all.
If you dont use a TPM enabled boot loader you wont have any statements
(aka measurments) of your boot process in the TPM registers - so you do
not have the certainity what you have booted. If you just want to play
around or use the TPM to seal data to the maschine, its fine to ommit
the bootloader
